We’re going back to 1987 this week on Off The Chart for another two hours (and a bit) of hits you don’t normally hear on a chart show. There’s also three tracks from the week’s featured album, a hit from the French chart, a look at the day’s events, the top five singles in full and a special forfeit track which you can avoid if you give us just $1 a month on Patreon – our backers get bonus 12″ mixes and the French top 20 rundown instead. Which hit from this week’s chart has been a number 43 hit twice in the past decade? Which singer enjoying their debut hit this week would go on to release a concept triple album? And which sibling duo replaced themselves at number one? Click PLAY to find out!

If you enjoy Off The Chart and you’d like to avoid the weekly forfeit track, why not head over to our Patreon page and subscribe to us for a teeny amount of cash every month? You get access to an exclusive alternative version of the show which includes bonus 12″ mixes and the foreign chart rundown in place of the forfeit track, as well as all sorts of other bonus content including regular Further Off The Chart shows. We really appreciate it and it all goes towards the running of the site.

If you’ve missed a previous edition they’re all on our Mixcloud page, or for a taster of the music we play, listen to our Spotify playlist Way Off The Chart including one track from each show!

We also have a Spotify playlist for our #ICEOTWF feature, including all (well, most) of the international hits we’ve played since the feature began in March 2017. There are all sorts of oddities in here, all of which were hits somewhere in the world but not in the UK!
